Rating: PG-13 cos I'm erring on the side of caution.
Category: Drama, Suspense.
Season/Spoilers: None
Warnings: Implications of death.

Disclaimer: Any character or plot device you recognise isn't mine. I borrowed them shamelessly and promise to return them in the condition I found them in. More or less... :)
Author's Notes: Nearly there, only a couple more parts to go. The 'real' Jack gets thanks all to himself this time round cos I rather stupidly forgot him in part 7. Feedback gives me the warm fuzzies.

Something about this is very, very wrong.
Aside from the part where we're running for our lives as part of a twisted game.
The Jaffa that are on our tail haven't made a move since Jack found the trap, which must be at least an hour ago now.
There's one that's been following, running parallel with us for a while now. He hasn't done anything yet though.
Jack's getting twitchy; he hates knowing that there's one of them so close by and not being able to do something about it. Right now though Daniel is doing more to keep him upright than he'd like to admit.
Sam stops dead in her tracks, gesturing to us that she's heard something.
There's a sudden thud from the direction of the Jaffa following us and Teal'c emerges from the undergrowth.
I nearly sigh in relief.
Teal'c catches sight of Jack leaning on Daniel. "O'Neill, you are injured."
"Really Teal'c? Hadn't noticed." For once I'm actually grateful to hear Jack being sarcastic. It's when he goes quiet that you need to start worrying. Then Jack notices that Teal'c is not where he's supposed to be. "I thought I told you to meet us at the gate?"
"It is not far from this location." Teal'c points to his right. "It is in that direction."
Jack's the one to voice our surprise. "Really? How about that. We made better time than I thought."
Teal'c isn't finished yet though. "However the Goa'uld is waiting there."
"With more Jaffa?" Sam asks the question even though we all know that it's pointless hoping that our 'host' is alone.
"Indeed."
Sam turns to me. "Dad? Do you think this Goa'uld will honour his word?"
I settle for the truth. "To be honest Sam I have no idea, but our only way off this planet is through the gate. We have to take the chance."
Daniel suddenly speaks up. "Hang on Teal'c what about the other Jaffa that are following us?"
"They are no longer a threat."
"Ah."
"Well then kids let's go see what he wants." Jack manages to sound a lot more confident than I feel. I just hope this pays off.
